It requires little but continuous collective effort to safeguard our environment and the air that we inhale. You can also contribute, even while driving.

Course and the very existence of our healthy future lies in dealing with this problem with an affirmative hand and in a collective spirit.

Where only the feeling of accepting the impending doom is there, we need to stop and reverse it now.

Act Now: Say#Yesiamresponsible and do your bit to support the environment.
